OUR STORY

Food is in the heart of Istria, and in the heart of Medulin, you can find Malin – the new top spot for all food lovers.

Malin means ‘’windmill’’ in the Istrian dialect and is a symbol of Medulin. Built in 1872, it was the only one in the Mediterranean and people came from all over to grind their grain. 

Just like the windmill, we work with passion and energy to provide you the best experience. Knowledge is our wind, and grains are the local products we get from local farmers and fishermen. With respect to tradition, our young and ambitious team is sharing Istrian local cuisine recipes infused with a modern twist. Your task is to simply sit, relax and taste life in Istria. In all its flavours.

We ordered different meals so we can try everything. Each meal had their own story, and I will definitely come back for this delicious food! If you can’t decide what to order, go fore some local fuzi (pasta) with duck or gnocchi with boskarin (cattle)! 🙂 We also tried the steak tartar and bream tartar, wasn’t that expensive considering the quality of food! The space is nicely decorated, has amazing view and also one big applause goes for the staff team!

This restaurant is really something else. We've tried almost all the meals from the menu and I can honestly say that one was better than the other. Their beefsteak tartare is the best I've ever had. And I've had some. Go give it a try! You will not regret it.

Best restaurant view in Medulin. The main Chef and the main Sommelier both used to work in Micheline-recommended restaurants. Second-floor view of Medulin port and sunset is beyond words. The combination of Classical and Mediterranean dishes is absolutely delicious. This is probably the only place in the Medulin harbor that can comfortably serve dinner even when it is raining outside. Simply exquisite. You need to take your wife/girlfriend here.

Istrian tradition

Pasta in Istria is made today as it was then – with great skill and lots of love.

Istrian pasta is made of flour and eggs and prepared by the recipes of Istrian grandmas: pljukanci by rubbing between palms and fuži by cutting into strips cut diagonally and placed over each other.

If you love pasta, you’ll be delighted with the Malin menu, because you’ll get to try some of the best pasta recipes on the peninsula. Yum!

Istrian curd with figs cooked in wine, brownie with hazelnuts, or Malin’s kiss, the signature dessert? They all sound so good. When it’s too hard to decide, it’s probably best to try them all! 🙂

Kid's Menu

Of course we’re thinking about our smallest guests.

We know what kids love and we love to cook for them. Fried chicken, or bolognese – a perfect combination for a happy meal.
